What should I do if my car is stolen?

We’ve all forgotten where we’ve parked after a day of shopping at the mall. For a moment we panic until remember that we’re really parked one level up. But what if you discover your car really has been stolen? Besides filing an auto insurance claim, Esurance has some suggestions for what to do if your car is no longer parked where you left it.

If your car has been stolen, contact the police immediately. After you contact the authorities, report the incident by filing an auto insurance claim online or over the phone at 1-800-926-1175. We’re here to help you 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Our claims representatives will immediately start the process of getting you back on the road. They can also help you obtain a rental car, if that's included in your auto insurance coverage.

Fortunately, there are some preventive measures you can take to avoid falling victim to car thieves. Installing alarm and anti-theft features not only help ward off would-be thieves, it can also earn you an auto insurance discount. Consult our Esurance Insight, Thick as (Car) Thieves for more details on how you can decrease the risk of car theft.

Filing an auto insurance claim is never a fun event, and if your car’s been stolen we can imagine that you’ll be upset. Luckily, Esurance can take some of the stress away by handling your auto insurance claim efficiently and getting you back on the road fast.
